UPDATE!

Just learned that the discovery of King Richard's body was even more of a miracle than we thought. His grave came within inches of being destroyed.

“It’s a miracle that King Richard's skeleton was where it was," site director Mathew Morris of the university's archaeological services said in a written statement. "To the east, there is a massive disturbance that has removed all evidence of the church -- which must have come within inches of his head."

*****************************************************************To read my interview with Lost In Castles, a site involved with the excavation of his body, click here.*****************************************************************The Wars of the Roses is
coming to television! Here's the headline from the Daily Mail (UK):

A very dangerous liaison: An epic new Wars Of
The Roses drama tells how Edward IV's marriage to a Lancastrian Queen tore the
country apart

As the Daily Mail describes it, "England has been at war for nine years [when the series opens] over who is the rightful
king. It’s a war between two families – The House of York and The House of
Lancaster – but the series focuses primarily on four powerful women caught up
in the conflict..."
The series will air on Starz on August 8, 2013.

This is so very poignant, and I love the manner in which you present Richard's humanity, such as his perhaps vanity and mourning--and also his attempt at acceptance. He was, after all, human, just like us.

Thank you again for this beautiful and very personal (if that rings right) writing.
